Cessna Citation XLS+ Charter

Published

The Textron Aviation (Cessna) Citation XLS+ is the best-selling midsize jet in service and a frequent pick for New York to Miami. What separates it from a light jet is the cabin: 5 feet 8 inches of stand-up height, a flat floor, and a fully enclosed lavatory. It carries 2,100 nautical miles of range and seats eight. Block time from Teterboro Airport (TEB) to Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF) is about two and a half hours.

Specification

Range is 2,100 nautical miles against a route near 950, so the corridor is flown nonstop with large reserves. Cruise is 441 ktas, Mach 0.75. The ceiling is 45,000 feet, clear of most Eastern Seaboard weather. Power is two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545C engines.

Cabin

The cabin measures 18 feet 6 inches long, 5 feet 6 inches wide, and 5 feet 8 inches tall — full stand-up height with a flat floor and an enclosed lavatory. Eight seats fit comfortably, nine at maximum. Baggage is a generous 90 cubic feet. On a short trip, the difference from a light jet is room to stand and walk.
